Bigguyone01 Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) I was out fishing a Glide bait in my Clear water Pond yesterday and watched time and again as fish hit the head of the bait and moved the entire bait but never got a hook in them so I was trying to find a way to put a top hook like the Butch Brown style of swimbait rigging. Mainly looking to do it on about a 170 size Glide bait so nothing giant by any means. Thank you for your input.

Bigguyone01 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 I'll start on cheaper baits like swaver and if proves to work well I'll try it on nicer baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdpettit Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Not sure if it would change the swim, but u could glue a small magnet to the top of the bait. Couple split rings and the hook, and ur good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthenSwimbait Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 I think it would be easier on a resin bait. Drill a small hole at the top closer to the front of the rear joint. Stick a spro power swivel in the hole and fill it in with resin or strong epoxy. Then you could drill another hole behind that just deep enough for a small magnet. Epoxy that in and you have a legit setup. Sounds easy to me but I'm sure some wouldn't feel comfortable doing all that. Just an idea.
